Citing U.S. loophole, NDP pitches tighter arms controls on Israel

OTTAWA - NDP MP Jenny Kwan says she will ask Parliament to close a loophole that could allow the U.S. to purchase Canadian weapons for Israel, despite a ban on exporting various forms of arms to that country.

"It is about ensuring Canada is never complicit in atrocities," Kwan told a Thursday news conference on Parliament Hill.
